My apologies to all of you that I've not been back on here to give a response. Instead of going one by one I'll just give you the general feeling I'm getting. 1. As foreign as some of the practices of my current church might be to a few of you, so too are some of your practices, which I think is cool. 2. You guys with these more liturgical? services must have more time to think during service and reflect on the goodness of God. 3. It's refreshing to read that not everyone is stuck in this same style I've been which can lead to you feeling like this: <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/Banghead.gif" alt="" /> 4. The offering with a collection box instead of passing the plate probably is better, b/c the people are giving to God who has High standards rather than Man who they can lie to and give only 10% as some kind of impressive sum. 5. Thank you.
